I believe Fleet's are way too strong for the body. From one extreme to the other... (That's even what my Husband's Family Doctor said).

During Vidaza treatment, my husband, Ron, drank prune juice regularly due to constipation and he would have to take "Senna" and "Sorbital" (Stool softener and laxative as needed). We later discovered Bran Muffins were very helpful to Ron. So, I would make a bunch of banana bran muffins right before chemo week and would freeze some up to stay fresh... he would eat them daily... Here's the recipe if anyone is interested:

Banana Bran Muffins

1 1/3 c. flour (* I use whole wheat )
2 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 ¼ c. mashed ripe banana
2/3 c. packed brown sugar (*I use Dark Brown)
1/3 c. orange juice
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. oil *(I use Canola Oil)
2 cups Bran Flakes * (I use Raisin Bran Cereal)
½ cup chopped nuts (any kind is good.. I personally like Pecans).

Mix Flour, baking powder and salt. Add banana, sugar, orange juice, egg, and oil. Stire until flour is moistened. Mix in cereal and nuts. Bake in greased muffin pan for 25-30 min; until tester comes out clean (Bake at 350 degrees). Makes 12 Muffins.
